 Conal Elliot [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-
 devs/2017-July/014407.html writes]: I have
 {{{
 exampleC :: Double -> Double -> Double
 exampleC = \ t -> let s = sin t in \ x -> x + s
 }}}
 But the `sin` ends up being pushed inside the lambda by the optimiser,
 like so:
 {{{
 exampleC = \ t x -> x + sin t
 }}}
 So if I do `map (exampleC v) xs` I end up computing `sin v` once for each
 element of `xs` rather than once.
